Why is it called a laptop?
|
I understand the 'lap' part of the name, but what does the 'top' part mean?
because its on TOP of your LAP?
Yes, just as a desktop sits on top of your desk. Well, it used to, the old horizontal cases, today cases are put vertically on the desk/next to it/on some stand made for the case/on the floor etc
It is called that as it is designed to be used on top of your lap. This isn't the case for all laptops like drts though.
